A short story by Violet Carr Moore, a member of the Tri-Valley Branch of the California Writers Club, received first place in a statewide competition for pandemic-related fiction sponsored by the High Desert Branch.
Mooreâs tale of a travel writer under government quarantine for a terminal condition was also published in the California Writers Club anthology, âSurvival: Tales of Pandemic,â along with stories by 23 other authors.
Although the story, âFatal,â was written before the COVID-19 pandemic, a Writers Club summary notes that Mooreâs main character, âLaura,â âwants to leave a protected environment to photograph the Mississippi River, but she is declared terminal and denied a travel permit. Nathan, a governmental employee assigned to keep her quarantined, becomes Lauraâs ally and plans her escape.â
